Alright, maybe not really THAT exciting, but interesting and definitely weird. About 2 months ago the little green ball in the picture disappeared, but tonight it returned?! I asked the La Cimbali dealer, "The little green ball disappeared from my Junior S/1, where do you think it went?!" Three responses, one said... "I don't know, let me get some guys (repair techs) in here." One said... "Well, I think it was sucked out and went out the waste tube," the other stated, "I think it was more than likely sucked up into and dissolved in your boiler." I doubted the first tech and then on the second... well I thought I had a good excuse for those bad shots, but now I guess I was wrong.
SO...
At least I now know my previous "so-so" shots were from blah coffee beans and not from that little green ball.
